Help Tracing KempstersHello,
I am looking for any information on a Thomas Albert Kempster born roughly 1841, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Thomas Albert is my 4th Great-Grandfather and he has proven very difficult to trace. The information given is from Census records.
I have recently bought his Marriage certificate which states he was married in 1880, Newcastle upon Tyne to a Mary Ann Thorley. His father was Burnis Kempster (Deceased) and his occupation was a Carrier.
If anybody has any information or could help me in any way I would be extremely grateful!
Thank you,
Olivia

John Walker - 1839 to when ?My great great grandfather John Walker was born in Longwick, Buckinghamshire in 1839. He married Kate Hodgkins and they had 2 sons.
